anthamic Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 List of 'worst' songs X Marks The Spot Army Of One Up In Flames Another's Arms Til Kingdom Come Hymn For The Weekend (only studio version is crap) Fun Up&Up (Radio Edit) AOAL (Radio Edit) ASFOS (Radio Edit) ALL THE FUCKING RADIO EDITS :angry: The Clocks and Talk radio edits were OK imo, though I agree with a lot that you mentioned. Although I don't exactly "hate" Major Minus, I loathe the production of the song- it sounds so plastic/cheap compared to the live version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie O Sullivan Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 To me, True Love cant be beaten as the worst song :argue: Seriously, the part where Chris starts singing "Tell me you love me..."... Horrible! So its their worst romantic song and their worst overall :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockofbirds222 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I love True Love! OK, sometimes it sounds a bit whiny, but it is a good song imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylobryte7 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 :cry: You're probably like the happiest person on here :D, that's why you don't like those tunes. Lemme guess: your favorite album is AHFOD... Nope X&Y is my favorite, with AROBTTH being a very, very close second. Just don't care for those two songs because they don't sound well to me, and those are both on my favorite albums which is saying something. I do love AHFOD too, love all their albums for what they are and try not to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy42 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Speaking of whiny and desperate songs, Shiver certainly comes across as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 X Marks The Spot. What a terrible song. Sure, props to the band for trying to experiment, yadda yadda yadda. But I'm getting the feeling that they're missing the mark. Lets see... X Marks The Spot kills the flow of the album, makes little thematic sense in relation to the rest of the album, has lyrics that a 4 year old could've written, and has the most "generic" pop sound of any Coldplay song. The last time I actually listened to that detestable song was back in December. I fiddled with iTunes so that once Army of One ends, it skips directly to Amazing Day. I think Up In Flames is pretty bad, too. The lyrics are nothing special. I don't like the production. Up In Flames is the one Coldplay song where I can't stand Will's contribution; the broken clock/drum pad is annoying and unnecessary. Everglow is another take on the sound that they were trying to achieve, and in my opinion it is a huge improvement. Up&Up (Radio Edit) AOAL (Radio Edit) ASFOS (Radio Edit) ALL THE FUCKING RADIO EDITS :angry: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenclawWiz816 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I think my most disliked song EVER by Coldplay is X Marks The Spot. I'd have to agree with you there. That's a regular skip for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisbe Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I still think A Spell A Rebel Yell is their worst song, I always skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Seriously, the part where Chris starts singing "Tell me you love me..."... Horrible! Funny, this is for me one of the most outstanding lines in Coldplay discography. And i say that as a person who does not like the sound of True Love at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmaguire Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I don't hate Coldplay songs, but I do notice I skip GPASUYF whenever it comes on my iPod. And I only like the live version of Everything's Not Lost, not the recorded version Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karvi22 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I have to say I hate Violet Hill... always skip it when I listen to VLVADAAHF. Also I don't understand why so many people hate Up in Flames, in my opinion is one of their most beautiful songs... it really moves me. (Think I must be the only person in the world who hates Violet Hill but loves Up in Flames, please don't hate me guys :laugh4:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever encountered someone who prefers Up in Flames to Violet Hill. Most people here won't even mention them in the same post. :tongue: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guy42 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 For me Lost and Violet Hill were those two rocky songs that I didn't care for at first. Over time they grew on me, and now I love them :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with you about those darn radio edits. The originals are always better. They cut off the believe in love on the up&up radio edit. That is just not ok.[/Quote] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
